Dan from Plumbdog heads out to Caversham to repair a leaking reticulation main supply line feeding the irrigation solenoids.

After a previous inspection found a leak in the main supply, the solution was to replace the damaged supply pipe and install a new duo valve with backflow protection. This keeps the irrigation system running properly while also protecting the home’s potable water supply.

Working in 35°C Perth heat, Dan digs a trench, removes the old pipework, and installs a much cleaner and safer setup.

•Tracking down a leaking reticulation main supply
•Digging a 300 mm trench to access the irrigation line
•Installing a new duo valve with proper backflow protection
•Reconnecting the existing irrigation solenoids

“Fixing the supply properly and installing the right backflow protection keeps the irrigation system working — without risking contamination of the main water supply.”

The Result

•Main irrigation supply leak repaired
•New duo valve installed for safe operation
•Backflow protection added for compliance
•Irrigation solenoids reconnected and functioning
•Site backfilled and restored neatly

The result is a neat, compliant, and leak-free irrigation system ready to keep the garden watered without wasting water.
